venting...
I know I've said it before... But I have to complain somehow, since I'm not allowed to out loud...Home by 9, off phone and computer shortly after, in bed by 10-10:30... OMFG!!!! I'm just so damn sick of it all!!!!!!!! Why do I have curfews??? Why does she insist that I have to be up at 6am now, when my son doesn't wake up until 8?? She wants me to be exactly like her, because she thinks she knows best. I want to swear right now, but I won't. I want to hit her, but I won't. I want to get the hell out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suddenly my stbx doesn't seem like such a bad guy after all... Well, OK he is, but at least I had freedom. At least I could go to bed when I want, wake up when I want, eat what I want... Wow this effin' SUCKS!!!!! I'll take punches to the head over this- I swear!!!!

OMG girl, I totally feel you!! My mom\'s not as bad, but YES she does drive me crazy!!
Hey, it\'s not complaining, IMO this is a legit way to help reduce the stress a little. You\'ll make it out of there just like you made it out of the other place. In all seriousness, mental abuse is as bad as physical abuse. Keep your head up something will break your way. Will you have more time once your son\'s going to school all day? I hope so. :)
Be strong, anything is better that what you endure with your husband. Sometimes we just need to adapt to other people\'s lifestyle.Try doing your things during the day while you can find enough income to go on on your one.
Question: Don\'t you have a Social Services Department in your area that can provide you temporary assistance to pay some rent, day care for your son and job development to find a job??? The other option is that soemtinmes local shelters have programs funded by FEMA, and they also assist you in transitioning from being in a shelter to having your own place (I think they are called Transitional Shelters).
Look around for your options. i\'m sure you will find something adequate for you and your son....going back to your stbx SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTION for you!!!! Take Care
